I was cheering for Houston, Washington, Cleveland and Minnesota this week in hopes of moving up the draft board with Raider's pick.

Damn it!!!

Although it is not likely at this point, it will be incredible if the Raider's pick ends up as a 10. Three of those top ten picks could very easily include Luck, Mallet, Newton and Locker which in a way would make the pick more like a six or seven pick and give BB tremendous leverage to trade-down, should that be the case.

Doesn't matter I'm sure BB won'y mind another first round pick even if it's not the 15th pick. the fact is he will have practicly 3 first rounders, the higher the better when it comes to negotiating salariesPosted by kansaspatriot

It sounds like there might be a rookie salary structure in place, possibly by the 2011 draft, meaning that picks would be slotted a certain amount of money. This would mean that Pats fans should root for the Raiders to do as bad as possible to help improve the Pats' pick because money wouldn't be an object.

The Raiders still have to play the Colts and Chiefs. Hopefully the Colts and Chiefs will beat them. The Broncos won't.
